Statue of Tvardovsky and Terkin, Bronze monument in Victory Square, Smolensk, Russia.

The monument features poet Alexander Tvardovsky and his character Vasily Terkin sitting together on a bench in a detailed conversation setting.

The monument was unveiled on May 2, 1995, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Soviet victory in World War II through public donations.

The statue represents the bond between Tvardovsky and his fictional character Terkin, who became central figures in Russian wartime literature.

The monument stands in the center of Victory Square, serving as a meeting point and destination for guided tours in Smolensk.

This bronze creation depicts the rare combination of a real author sitting next to his fictional character, with Terkin holding an accordion.
